Blizzard president Mike Morhaime today confirmed that the StarCraft II beta would begin sometime this summer.
"This summer we will be opening up external beta testing, and while we haven't announced a release date yet, this phase will also signal the final stretch [of development on the game]," said Morhaime during today's Activision Blizzard conference call.
This game is coming out this year for sure!

Well this is how I think about it, look at the length of Blizzards earlier betas:
Starcraft beta: < 4 months Brood War beta: < 2 months Diablo II beta: 3 months Diablo II: LoD beta: 2 months Warcraft III beta: 4 months Warcraft III TFT beta: 4 months WoW beta: 5 months (8 months in North America) WoW TBC beta: 2 months WoW Wotlk beta: 4 months
So I guess the beta is going to be < 4-5 months long. Then I think it would be perfect to release it before the holidays in november-december, or even earlier if they start in the early summer.

by first I mean I'm happy I was the first to know D:
|
We kinda already knew this, what with all the beta opt-in type stuff they've been doing recently. "Summer" is 4 months long, so hopefully it's not September or something.
|
I think they are aiming for shortly before winter holidays for maxium profit :O
|
Maybe we should start a thread where we guess the release date...
|
OMG WOOT!!!!
its about time
